MANAGEMENTSupply chain

Supplies are essential at PSE, as their quality affects the maintenance of the national power system, implementation of investment projects and ensuring the functioning of the company’s offices. We are constantly improving our supply chain so as to purchase goods of the highest quality efficiently and on time. The company’s supply chain ensures the implementation of tasks in areas including:

investment projects,
information and communication technology,
maintenance of substation buildings and power lines,
maintenance of offices,

In 2023, our organisation concluded a total of 151 supply contracts with a total value of PLN 1,429,256,700. As much as 95.67 percent of the supply value – a total of 147 contracts – was provided by contracting parties from Poland. Four contracts with foreign contracting parties were concluded, which accounted for 4.33 percent of all PSE supply contracts.

Contracts awarded to local suppliers accounted for just 0.06 percent of the value of all contracts. 99.94 percent of the value was awarded to nationwide or foreign companies. This is due to the fact that the supplies for PSE include a very wide product range of the best quality, supplies must go to many regions of Poland, and contracting parties must meet a number of criteria so as to fulfil the requirements for doing business with PSE, which works with trusted contracting parties with proven reliability.
